On 19 April 2019, Sauter made his NXT UK debut as a face under the ring name Oliver Carter in a dark match, which he lost to Kassius Ohno.[5] He was utilized as a jobber until 16 November where he ended his losing streak. He teamed with Ashton Smith to defeat The Outliers (Dorian Mak and Riddick Moss). He returned to the brand on 17 January 2020, where he teamed with Smith to defeat Pretty Deadly (Lewis Howley and Sam Stoker). On 7 March, he participated in a battle royal to determine the next challenger for the NXT UK Championship, but failed to win the match.

On the 2 June 2022 episode of NXT UK, Carter and Smith won the NXT UK Tag Team Championship by defeating previous champions Moustache Mountain (Trent Seven and Tyler Bate) and Die Familie (Teoman and Rohan Raja) in a triple threat match.[6][7] On the 23 June episode of NXT UK, Carter and Smith were set to defend their titles against NXT 2.0's Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen, but Smith suffered a knee injury and had to vacate them.[8]

NXT (2022–present)

[edit]

On the 13 September 2022 episode of NXT, a video package was shown to reintroduce Carter under the ring name of Oro Mensah, with his debut announced for the following week's episode.[9] In his debut match, Mensah defeated Grayson Waller to qualify for the NXT North American Championship ladder match at NXT Halloween Havoc.[10] At the event on 22 October, Wes Lee won the match.[11] On the 4 November episode of NXT Level Up, Mensah defeated Xyon Quinn.[12] On the 28 March 2023 episode of NXT, Mensah competed in a 20-man battle royal to claim a spot in the fatal-five-way NXT North American Championship match at NXT Stand & Deliver, eliminating Quinn but was eliminated by Jinder Mahal.[13] On 25 April at Spring Breakin', Mensah lost against the debuting Oba Femi.[14]
